Product Description
From the author of the bestselling Anam Cara comes a beautiful collection of blessings to help readers through both the everyday and the extraordinary events of their lives.
John O’Donohue, Irish teacher and poet, has been widely praised for his gift of drawing on Celtic spiritual traditions to create words of inspiration and wisdom for today. In To Bless the Space Between Us, his compelling blend of elegant, poetic language and spiritual insight offers readers comfort and encouragement on their journeys through life. O’Donohue looks at life’s thresholds—getting married, having children, starting a new job—and offers invaluable guidelines for making the transition from a known, familiar world into a new, unmapped territory. Most profoundly, however, O’Donohue explains “blessing” as a way of life, as a lens through which the whole world is transformed.
O’Donohue awakens readers to timeless truths and shows the power they have to answer contemporary dilemmas and ease us through periods of change.

A Beautiful Book!! April 28, 2008
This book is beautiful in itself as well as in it's contents. John o'Donohue is a poet and an artist with words. These blessings can be used for so many situations. I highly recommend this book.
Bless the Space Between Us is a blessing. April 26, 2008
Bless the Space Between Us is a great book of wonderfully simple yet insightful poems and blessings. If we all blessed the spaces between us, there wouldn't be any spaces as we could all just be the one among us. Beautifully written and lovely in its grace and language.
O'Donohue's blessings for us all April 23, 2008
When I grew up, every Friday night my mother would put her hands on my head and bless me with a prayer. There was always something special about that experience that has stayed with me. O'Donohue's book of powerful blessings (non-denominational except for a meditation on the eyes of Jesus) covers the breadth of life experience with depth and compassion for self and other. I savor this book and keep it close by to share with others. What a gift from O'Donohue! What a great loss: his death silenced more from such an exquisite voice of the human soul.
To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings April 17, 2008
This is a wonderful book, either for sitting quietly and pondering specific topics or as a resource for appropriate blessings for specific events or transitions.

I have this item in book and CD formats. What a gift to our spirits! His brilliance and depth of understanding of the heart and spirit are incomparable! For those who are ministers, there's a lot of inspiration for sermons/homilies in this book. There are blessings that can be incorporated into various rites of passage, as well. He brings to light how little we bless each other and the positive difference it would make if we would. He is the soul friend of everyone who's read his works. I highly recommend this book. I'll be buying several more copies of this book as well as Anam Cara (also by John O'Donohue).
